FALLING STAR

I asked someone what true love was,
They said, "It's just a falling star.
A glimpse of light in a darkened world,
It'll never take you far.
You'd be a fool to wish upon it,
You see wishes never really come true.
You're just opening up to a razor,
That'll cut the very heart out of you."

But me, I've always been the dreamer.
You know I've lived by my own rule.
I never thought I could love anyone,
But then I'll always be your fool.
For when I heard your voice calling,
I had to run to your side.
Up in the sky I saw the star falling,
But I still went along for the ride.

Now maybe I just should've listened,
For that definition of love was right.
You see I wished my life upon it,
And I wished myself to hell that night.
The razor's cut my chest apart,
Blood's dripping from your hand.
The very hand that's crushing my heart,
For reasons I'll never understand.

No, I don't understand why you've cut me.
And left me bleeding here all alone.
No, I don't understand my own feelings,
Still in need of the love you once shown.
And I'm only bleeding for your love,
No, I could never make it on my own.
Caused my falling star, in this darkened world,
You're the only glimpse of light I have known.

D.O.

Fear is overcomable, life is fleeting.
Dreams are reachible, love completing.

Indeed, it can be quite painful when the only light in your life is a source of so much pain. I can truly relate to this one, D.O.

September 30, 1659. I, poor, miserable Robinson Crusoe, being shipwrecked, during a dreadful storm in the offing, came ashore on this dismal unfortunate island, which I called "the Island of Despair," all the rest of the ship's company being drowned, and myself almost dead.
